Memory core

Memory cores are the devices which contain the memories of a Transformer.

Fiction

The Transformers cartoon

Once he began working on Optimus Prime, the Quintesson tasked with reviving the Autobot leader noted that his memory core was still intact, which would go a long way toward restoring him. The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1

Animated cartoon

Memory cores have some protection against a low-level electromagnetic pulse, but higher level pulses can utterly wipe them destroying the Transformer's memory. The Thrill of the Hunt

Notes

• Seeing as how sparks can be transplanted into new bodies without any sort of memory modification, it would indicate some sort of relationship between a spark and memory core.
